Episode Synopsis

New Year's Day - a day of hangovers, resolution writing, college football games, and general recovery. Nancy and I are off to her Cousin Jimmy's open house for an afternoon of family, cut-throat board games, college bowl games that actually matter, and polite grazing of potluck. A happy new year to one and all - let's toast 2014 with a verse or two of "Let's Start the New Year Right" by Irving Berlin, sung here by that great crooner (and underrated influence on all jazz singers), Bing Crosby: One minute to midnight, one minute to go One minute to say good-bye before we say hello Let's start the new year right, twelve o'clock tonight When they dim the light, let's begin Kissing the old year out Kissing the new year in Let's watch the old year die with a fond good-bye And our hopes as high as a kite How can our love go wrong if We start the new year right?
